Took delivery of my old (93) wrx last week, chuffed to bits but I now start to ask questions.
Anyway of interpreting oil temp?
Tyre pressures for standard 15" tyres?
Fuel tank gases off when cap removed, normal?
The car to my knowledge is standard, has Nardi steering wheel & gearstick, is this normal?
Finally, has the owner put wind deflectors over both sides or were some fitted with them?
It hopefully wont happen but if the check light does come on what would you do?

You could get some Gauges,I dont think there that hard to do yourself,
30 front,32 back i think,
The Whoooooooooosh is norm.
Nardi is norm.
Wind deflectors is norm.
just pray it dose,nt,
Watch the Tyre presures on the 15s, they leak a little,
Cheers Jayz.

Cheers, Have you taken the wind deflectors off? They seem well stuck and may take the paint with them, same for the WRX badge & Impreza sticker. The interpretation of the oil temp. I would like to know if the ECU could tell me, any binary language or serial link would do.

Congrats! Got the same car myself. Put a Dawes in it and you can see her go really fast.

Should the tyre pressures be 32 at the front and 30 at the rear (due to the extra weight of the engine over the front wheels).
